Before the Makeup
Your foundation is so important, and I’m not talking the makeup kind. Give your skin some loving 🥰
One of my favorite light weight moisturizers. Moisturized skin is a MUST for good looking makeup.
Lightweight Daily Moisturizer
Moisturizes and brings that bounciness back to the skin. 100% recommend using this product before applying makeup!
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
I have a hack for this one. Add some bronzing drops into the serum for a great glowy base for your makeup
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides)
Base Makeup
Made it to first base 🤭
This one is pretty obvious but this primer is to die for. My makeup never moves when I have this on. It also provides hydration to the skin making the best base for your makeup
Power Grip Primer
Charlotte Tilbury DUPE. I truly love this product. It makes my base SUPER glowy and has never made me break out.
Halo Glow Liquid Filter Complexion Booster
In LOVE with this skin tint. One of the best sunscreen skin tints on the market. Keeps my base super glowy and natural while providing a little coverage to even out my skin tone
SunnyDays SPF 30 Tinted Sunscreen | Back In Stock At Tower 28 Beauty
This concealer is definitely my favorite for natural dewy makeup. If you want to go for a more glam look, it is super easy to build up for more coverage.
True Match Radiant Serum Concealer Makeup
Contour and Bronzer
Okay she’s tannnnn 🤏🏼
My favorite duo stick. The contour is super blendable and has a great amount of pigment. The highlighter is so creamy and glowy
Wonder™ Stick Contour and Highlighter Stick
If you are looking for a liquid contour, ELF is the way to go. Amazing pigment and very buildable. The shades don’t look muddy on the skin. These are a great choice for affordable contour.
Camo Liquid Bronzer & Contour
Blush
Girl who got you blushing like that🤭
These blushes last a lifetime! I’ve had mine for three years and I’ve barely made a dint using it almost everyday. The colors are so pretty as well
Soft Pinch Liquid Blush | Long-Lasting Dewy & Matte Blushes
One size DUPE. I am in love with this blush trio. The cream blush is so blendable. I love that they included a blush/highlighter combo shade. It is perfect for natural, dewy looks!
Cheek Thrills Multi-Finish Face Trio
The Milani Baked blushes are SOO GOOD. They have a perfect mix between blush and highlighter. These are great for my dewy makeup girlies
Baked Blush
Setting Powder
Ready, SET, Go!
This is a great setting powder. It is great for full beat or natural looks. A light dusting with a brush gets rid of the unwanted shine. Using a powder puff adds a more matte look.
Finishing & Setting Powder
Really great, cheap setting powder. Has a color to it so it helps with evening out the skin tone
Bake & Set Soft Focus Setting Powder - Translucent Rich
Highlighter
She’s GLOWINGGG
I know the colors look a little… interesting but they are sooo good. Very glowy looking, not glittery
Shimmer Buttermelt Powder Highlighter
Yes I know it’s an eyeshadow stick but the Champagne shade is my GO TO highlighter. The stick helps with those smaller places like the nose and inner eye corners. Very smooth and nice highlighter
No Budge Long Lasting Eyeshadow Stick
Brows
Brows on FLEAK period
I love this brow glue, especially the colored ones. My brows stay in place all day without getting that weird white look.

Anastasia DUPE. I’ve personally tried both and they are IDENTICAL. Brows stay all day and no white look. IYKYK
Brow Lift - Clear Eyebrow Gel
Setting Spray
Setting you up for success ✨
My personal fav setting spray. My makeup literally does not budge when I use this.
Lasting Makeup Mist and Setting Spray
Another affordable setting spray fav. I love the continuous mist on this one! Makeup stays all day
Continuous Setting Mist
Mascara and Eyeliner
Can’t take my eyes off you 🫶🏼
Hands down my favorite mascara. I will say it’s a little pricey for mascara but it’s so good I had to include it. The lift is unmatched and my lashes don’t fall as the day goes by. AMAZING!
Lash Sculpt | More than a Mascara
This is the best, affordable mascara I’ve tried. Very similar to sky high. Lashes are lifted and wispy
Lash Without Limits Extreme Lengthening & Volume Mascara
Hands down the BEST eyeliners. These stay for sooo long, which is hard to find in an eyeliner this cheap. They have so many colors to make your eyes POP
Vivid Rich Mechanical Pencil | NYX Professional Makeup
Lippies
He’ll def want a kiss after using these products 💋
These are just so good. The Jam color is my go to. The shades are so pretty and the oil is very hydrating on the lips
Glow Reviver Tinted Lip Oil
My absolute favorite lip stain. When they say stain they mean STAIN. The colors are so pretty and flattering
Lip Liner STAY-N® - Peel-off Lip Liner Stain
On their own, not the most affordable, but these sets are definitely worth it. They are usually around 20 dollars. My personal fav is the set with the juicy lip and the lip oil. Soooo soft on the lips and the colors are super pretty
maracuja juicy lip balm best-sellers duo
